  Are you sure it's easy for amateurs? Well, my program Anubis gets quicky to
ply 18 with a wrong move; in ply 19, when it starts analyzing e4 it seems hung.
I've stopped it after more than 2 hours (PIII 933 with other programs running).
I guess (haven't had time to study the problem) that the tree explosion has to
do with checks in qsearch, that I do in the first plies without too much
control.
  I'll try Averno (no checks in qsearch) to see what happens.
  Could you please post the pv of the solution for I can see where my program is
incorrectly pruning?
